    I think he/she/heshe is referring to PBS, we have had the odd spat. But both being mature we have moved on and may possibly be moving in ;)
  • Does anyone know how you print an on-line check in for a return journey that is more than 2 weeks distant when you fly out? The maximum time you can do this in advance seems to be 15 days. I wonder how I get a printed on-line check in when I am in a foreign country and have no access to a computer and printer? I have e-mailed Ryanair a few times about this but had no reply
    Many thanks in anticipation

    You pay extra at the airport or you get someone to do it for you and Fax/send it to you or....

    Here's another one. I didn't realise that if you add hold luggage after you've made your original booking, you (and anyone else on your reservation) cannot check in online, and therefore incur the substantial airport check-in fees as well as the hold baggage fee.

    I don't object to paying £20 for hold baggage - it's a lot, but the charge is quite clearly stated. I do object to incurring additional check-in charges for adding hold baggage prior to check-in. I'm pretty certain that it was not made clear to me at the time of booking that adding bags subsequently would mean that I couldn't check in online, and I've just been through the T&C again and there is no mention of it there. This is the kind of thing that I feel is a "hidden" charge designed to catch people out.

    Presumably this charge won't apply from October when they get rid of airport check-in, but I wonder if they'll find some other way to penalise you for booking hold baggage after your initial booking?

    I was just thinking about doing the same, actually. :)

    Perhaps some additions are in order?

    How about a final "top tip" of "if all the above is too much for you, fly a different airline".........................

    There are many nasty words I could use to describe Ryanair, but "scam" and "rip off" are hardly fair.

    I used to be a great fan of Ryanair, but over the years I have gone off them and much prefer Easyjet - but they must still be doing something right.
